On Monday students from Division 3 participated as a class in an interactive virtual workshop with Relay Education facilitators using Google Meet.  Students:

• learned about renewable and non-renewable energy
• discussed the pros and cons of various types of renewable and non-renewable forms of energy
• participated in demonstrations with model wind turbines
• completed science equipments to determine how the length and number of blades on a wind turbine change how much energy is produced

Video: Navigating Mazes With Sphero

During Tech Day on Thursday, our class constructed mazes out of cardboard in small groups.  We then had to code Spheros to navigate through the mazes without touching the walls or running into any obstacles. Some of the challenges we faced were constructing the obstacles within the maze and then coding the Spheros to be able to navigate through the maze.  We had to learn how to adjust the speed, distance and angles to get the Spheros to navigate successfully through our maze and over ramps and bridges. We also had to learn to work together and divide tasks equally so that everyone was able to participate and take turns coding.

This video is about the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, whose traditional territory we reside on and touches many shores of the Burrard Inlet.  See how they care for their land and community.  What can you learn from their teachings and ways of knowing?

Wow! Check out the different things students in Division 4 created for Earth Day. There’s no shortage of talent in Division 4 that’s for sure.
